.Sh DESCRIPTION
The function
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl
sends a control operation to the context
.Fa ctx .
The key type used must match
.Fa keytype
if it is not -1.
The parameter
.Fa optype
is a mask indicating which operations the control can be applied to.
The control command is indicated in
.Fa cmd
and any additional arguments in
.Fa p1
and
.Fa p2 .
.Pp
Applications will not normally call
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl
directly but will instead call one of the algorithm specific macros
described below and in
.Xr RSA_pkey_ctx_ctrl 3 .
.Pp
The function
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl_str
allows an application to send an algorithm specific control operation to
a context
.Fa ctx
in string form.
This is intended to be used for options specified on the command line or
in text files.
The commands supported are documented in the
.Xr openssl 1
utility command line pages for the option
.Fl pkeyopt
which is supported by the
.Cm pkeyutl ,
.Cm genpkey ,
and
.Cm req
commands.
.Pp
All the remaining "functions" are implemented as macros.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md
and
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_signature_md
macros set and get the message digest type used in a signature.
They can be used with the RSA, DSA, and ECDSA algorithms.
If the key is of the type
.Dv EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS
and has usage restrictions, an error occurs if an attempt is made
to set the digest to anything other than the restricted value.
.Ss DSA parameters
The macro
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dsa_paramgen_bits
sets the number of bits used for DSA parameter generation to
.Fa nbits .
If not specified, 1024 is used.
.Ss DH parameters
The macro
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_paramgen_prime_len
sets the length of the DH prime parameter
.Fa len
for DH parameter generation.
It only accepts lengths greater than or equal to 256.
If this macro is not called, then 1024 is used.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_paramgen_generator
macro sets DH generator to
.Fa gen
for DH parameter generation.
If not specified, 2 is used.
.Ss EC parameters
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_paramgen_curve_nid
macro sets the EC curve for EC parameter generation to
.Fa nid .
For EC parameter generation, this macro must be called or an error occurs
because there is no default curve.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ec_param_enc
macro sets the EC parameter encoding to
.Fa param_enc
when generating EC parameters or an EC key.
The encoding can be set to 0 for explicit parameters or to
.Dv OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE
to use named curve form.
.Ss ECDH parameters
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_cofactor_mode
macro sets the cofactor mode to
.Fa cofactor_mode
for ECDH key derivation.
Possible values are 1 to enable cofactor key derivation, 0 to disable
it, or -1 to clear the stored cofactor mode and fall back to the
private key cofactor mode.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_ecdh_cofactor_mode
macro returns the cofactor mode for
.Fa ctx
used for ECDH key derivation.
Possible return values are 1 when cofactor key derivation is enabled
or 0 otherwise.
.Ss ECDH key derivation function parameters
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type
macro sets the key derivation function type to
.Fa kdf
for ECDH key derivation.
Possible values are
.Dv EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_NONE
or
.Dv EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63
which uses the key derivation specified in X9.63.
When using key derivation, the
.Fa kdf_md
and
.Fa kdf_outlen
parameters must also be specified.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_ecdh_kdf_type
macro returns the key derivation function type for
.Fa ctx
used for ECDH key derivation.
Possible return values are
.Dv EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_NONE
or
.Dv EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 .
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_md
macro sets the key derivation function message digest to
.Fa md
for ECDH key derivation.
Note that X9.63 specifies that this digest should be SHA1,
but OpenSSL tolerates other digests.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_ecdh_kdf_md
macro gets the key derivation function message digest for
.Fa ctx
used for ECDH key derivation.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_outlen
macro sets the key derivation function output length to
.Fa len
for ECDH key derivation.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_ecdh_kdf_outlen
macro gets the key derivation function output length for
.Fa ctx
used for ECDH key derivation.
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set0_ecdh_kdf_ukm
macro sets the user key material to
.Fa ukm
for ECDH key derivation.
This parameter is optional and corresponds to the shared info
in X9.63 terms.
The library takes ownership of the user key material, so the caller
should not free the original memory pointed to by
.Fa ukm .
.Pp
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_ecdh_kdf_ukm
macro gets the user key material for
.Fa ctx .
The return value is the user key material length.
The resulting pointer is owned by the library and should not be
freed by the caller.
.Ss Other parameters
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id ,
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get1_id ,
and
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get1_id_len
macros manipulate a special identifier field used for some specific
signature algorithms such as SM2.
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_id
macro sets the ID to a copy of
.Fa id
with the length
.Fa id_len .
The caller can safely free the original memory pointed to by
.Fa id .
The
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get1_id_len
macro returns the length of the ID set via a previous call to
.Fn EVP_PKEY_set1_id .
That length is typically used to allocate memory for a subsequent call to
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get1_id ,
which copies the previously set ID into
.Pf * Fa id .
The caller is responsible for allocating sufficient memory for
.Fa id
before calling
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_get1_id .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn EVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl
and its macros return a positive value for success and 0 or a negative
value for failure.
In particular, a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not
supported by the public key algorithm.
